Greek Writing

This is a photograph of Greek writing carved on a gate in the ancient Greek city of Ephesus located along the Mediterranean coast of modern Turkey. The city of Ephesus was a Greek colony established by the Greeks in the 10th century BCE. The use of Greek writing in Ephesus and other Greek colonies around the Mediterranean is a testament to the spread Greek culture to the lands that were colonized.
